Abstract :
This paper presents a method for selecting the optimum number of turns per phase winding of the SR motor with a given magnetic configuration and specified (required) operating conditions in terms of the output power and speed. The method is based on comparing performances predicted iteratively for hypothetical motors with different number of turns. Each iteration includes: (i) transforming the initial input data (magnetisation characteristics and phase winding resistance) for the mathematical model of the SR motor, to take into account the change of number of turns; and (ii) search for the optimum values of control variables which give maximum efficiency at the required output power and speed
